The veteran journalist and head of the Center for Citizen Media has written a set of rules (republished here in the Guardian, but available through a Creative Commons Licence) he'd introduce if he ran a newsroom.
There are 22 of them from Dan Gillmor and many are quite intriguing:
1. Conversation an essential part of the mission.
2. Invite the audience to participate in the journalism.
3. Never publish lists of 10, nor any lame anniversary stories.
4. A baseline of information for any ongoing story.
5. Point to and follow up on competitors' work.
The list isn't for everyone's liking, but offers some new approaches to longstanding traits.
